"Bush won through a crappy system that does not give every American an equal say in who will be the next President. "

The United States is a federation of States, if you had the popular vote determine the President then farm states wouldn't be as well represented- the country would be more dominated by states like Califorina, New York, and Texas and would be more strongly influenced by an urban populations. Now there could be an upside of this- there would be a lot of people [millions to tens of millions] who would be strongly motivated to have a far weaker federal govt. Or perhaps a desire to have the Senate (2 member per state) have more significance [have more power] than current Senate.
